0:00:05 > 0:00:08LINDSEY: This is Blue Peter, but mini.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Expect epic adventures,

0:00:10 > 0:00:12makes, bakes,

0:00:12 > 0:00:13badges, pets,

0:00:13 > 0:00:15presenters and your post.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19We've only got five minutes to get ready for your Blue Peter adventure.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26This game is over 500 years old and, in that time,

0:00:26 > 0:00:29golf has developed a language all of its own.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34- Now, some of the clubs are called irons...- That's right. Hello.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37No, Linds, they're, erm... This is an iron.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- And some are known as woods. - That's right.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43No, this is a wood.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46And one is even called a sand wedge.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Cheese ploughman's.- No.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I think I need some help.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Well, you're in luck, Linds.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Let me introduce you to two of the country's best golfers -

0:00:58 > 0:01:01pro superstars Charley Hull

0:01:01 > 0:01:04and Andrew "Beef" Johnston.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06What is the very first thing we need to know?

0:01:06 > 0:01:09First thing we'll probably do is start off with the grip.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11You can't control how you hit the ball

0:01:11 > 0:01:14unless you hold the club correctly.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17- All right, first thing you do is left hand on top.- OK.- Like that.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22That's it. And then right hand comes on, connects, and then you can

0:01:22 > 0:01:24put your little finger over the top of that finger like that.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Oh, wow.- Or you can put them in between,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- whatever's more comfortable. - Like that?- Yeah.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- That?- Yeah, so more in between, there.- Ooh.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32- OK.- Yeah, there you go.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35That's the grip sorted. What comes next?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37For me, it's all about the stance.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40The stance - how you stand when you hit the ball.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Without the right stance,

0:01:42 > 0:01:44you don't stand a chance.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- First of all, put your feet together.- Oh, together?- Yeah.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Right, yes.- And then move your left foot a little bit to the left.- OK.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54And then your right foot, like, triple the distance to the right.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- So actually, my centre of balance is behind where the ball will be.- Yeah.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01That's a game-changer.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06Grip sorted, stance sorted, what happens next?

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Time to hit the ball.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13That went a long way.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18In golf, the way you hit the ball is called your swing,

0:02:18 > 0:02:21something Charley just made look so easy.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Just practise clipping the blue tee on the practice swing.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Without the ball there? - Yeah, without the ball.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Yeah, like that, and then give it a go with the ball,

0:02:31 > 0:02:35so you're trying to just hit the same spot every time.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39'Now I have a feel for where I'm aiming, things start to improve'.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Shot.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45'Mum, look at that!'

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- A-ha-ha!- That was a really good strike!

0:02:47 > 0:02:48'I liked that one.'

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Well, that's lucky, because the golf doesn't end there, Radzi.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56As day becomes night, this place transforms into Topgolf.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Like normal golf, but hi-tech.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's the perfect place for our next head-to-head challenge.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Topgolf is played around the world, and players earn points

0:03:10 > 0:03:14by getting their ball into different parts of a target.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Now, today, we're each going to have ten balls

0:03:16 > 0:03:19and the winner is the person that gets the most points

0:03:19 > 0:03:22from that yellow target.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23I love this challenge.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28The yellow target we're aiming for has been split into nine parts,

0:03:28 > 0:03:32and you can only score points on each section once.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37But we're not playing alone. I'm teaming up with The Beef.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39And I'm being joined by Charley.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43It's time to do our swing.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45'Me first. Watch me, Linds.'

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Look...

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Oh! Oh!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53'Yeah, still watching, Radz.'

0:03:53 > 0:03:56'OK, so no points for me. Come on, Charley, I'm keeping the faith.'

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Oh, beautiful. Get in the nine!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01'It's not nine, but it's a five. We'll take it.'

0:04:01 > 0:04:03'OK, my turn'. Oh, way too far.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05'Yeah, miles past the target.'

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Oh, you! Go!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12'Beef! What a start!'

0:04:13 > 0:04:15'Me again.' No, it's not going to be a nine.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16It's not even going to be in.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20'OK, didn't hit the target, I'm just warming up.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23'Come on, Charley, I believe in you. You can keep us in this.'

0:04:23 > 0:04:24This is why they're professionals!

0:04:24 > 0:04:28'That's what I'm talking about! We lead 14-9.'

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh, it's a beauty!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- It's something. - Yeah, yeah.- It's a six!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37'Back in the lead.'

0:04:37 > 0:04:41'No-one scores for a full round, until Beef is back.'

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- It's an eight, isn't it? - He's got the eight!

0:04:46 > 0:04:49'Yes! That gives us a nine-point lead.'

0:04:49 > 0:04:51'Can we come back from this?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55'Charley picks up another two points.'

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- High scores.- Yeah, I still need to figure that out.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01That's the one. 'But Beef gets another one as well.'

0:05:03 > 0:05:04'So, with one more round to go,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Lindsey's team leads 24-16.'

0:05:09 > 0:05:10We can still win this.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I would ideally get an eight or a seven,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15or just on target. Think eight.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Be great. No, just go in! Stay in. Stay in. Stay in, oh!

0:05:20 > 0:05:23'Come on, Charley. Get an eight and we can draw. I believe in you.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- 'Keep the faith.'- Oh!

0:05:25 > 0:05:28'Come on, eight! Come on, eight! Come on, eight!

0:05:28 > 0:05:30'Oh, it's a one! Not enough!'

0:05:30 > 0:05:32'Yes! The title's ours.'

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- We did it!- Yes, we did.- I could not have done it without this man.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37You were amazing.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Actually, do you guys have a spare pair of trousers with you?- What?- No.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44I thought all golfers brought one, in case you got a hole in one.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Cos you get the... Better than a birdie, cos...

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Come on. - You get the ball, and it...
